The painting depicts a young woman with dark hair, dressed in a black dress with a cross necklace. She is seated, with her left arm resting on a table beside her. The background is dark, and the overall mood is somber. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal portrait from the 19th century. The artist's use of dark colors and shadows creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
